Victoria ana Her Relgn.

In the thousand and sixty year.
which have elapsed since Egbert was
made King of all England there have
been but three occupants of the throne
whose reigns have been so prolonged
as that of Queen Victoria. But her
Majesty will, in the course of this year
have reigned, in one sense, longer
than any English sovereign; for of the
three Kings whose reigns will have ex-
ceedod hers at the jubilee celebration in
June next not one actually ruled for so
long period as fifty years. King
Henry Ill. was crowned on the death
Of King John in 1916, but the regency
was intrusted to the Earl of Pembroke,
and il was not until 1922 that the
King was declared of age. King Ed
ward Ill. succeeded to the throne on
the deposition of his father
in 1927; but it was not until
1880 that he assumed the government,
so that he only ruled from chat date to
his death in 1877 forty-seven years.
King George Ill. practically ceased to
reign six weeks after the completion of
his fifty years reign; but if we except
the period during which his former
mental aflliction lasted namely: from
the beginning of November, 1889, until
the following February-his Majesty
actual rule fell below the period of fifty
years.

FIVE GOOD RULES.

1t would be well to remember the fol-
lowing rules in listening to evil re-
ports
l. To hear as little as possible of
what ever is to the prejudice of others.
,. To believe nothing evil of the
kind till YOU are absolutely forced to it..
3. Never to drink in the spirit of one
who circulatcs an i'll report
4. Always to moderate, as far as you
can, the unkindness which is expressed
towards others.
D. Always to believe that if the
other side were heard. very different
account would be given of the matter.

Beware of leading cows on icy spots
Cows should have diet, inclusive of
succulent food, roots or ensilage.
A Holstein cow has to give five Quarts
TO three of the jersey for the same
amount of butter.
Cotton seed meal is used by many
good butter makers. From one to two
quarts per day fed to each COW with
other meal.
Mustard, according TO Dr. Richard
son, is best applied by soaking a sponge
with it. Tie the sponge up in a hand
kerchief and apply the convex side.
This mustard sponge can be remoisten-
ed several times for reapplication.
Farmers who raise sheep should have
at least one cosset among his flock, one
that will come at call and as sheep
follow the leader, the whole flock may
be called by the obedience shown on
the part of the petted sheep.

ment that the water which streams down

In cases OF undue sweating of the feet,

REDUCING BONES.

Bones are the. cream of manures, but
ne difficulty is that ground bone is
sold At too high price, and not every
farmer knows how to reduce those he
may collect The following mode is one
Of the best and most ellicacious:
Put them into large arch kettle or
boiler, with IN equal bulk of good hard
wood ashes; pOurin water enough to
make thin mortar. and boil the mass
from one to two hours. when the bones
become completely dissolved or broken
down. with the exception Of few hard
shin bones. Shovel the mass into a box
and allow it to remain week or So
when the remainder of the bones will
mostly disappear. Mix il with twice
it. bulk of earth and use it in the hills. p"
Now. brother farmcts, collect the old
bones about your promises rs above di-
rectcd, and apply 1t in the hill of any
thing you choose. remembering to kick
"a little soil over j, before you drop the
seed. and YOU will find this receipt worth
